"La Madonna della Sedia" or "Madonna of the Chair" is a renowned Renaissance oil painting by the Italian master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael. Created circa 1513-1514, this artwork is celebrated for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and John the Baptist. The painting is notable for its circular format, known as a tondo, which was a popular shape during the Renaissance for domestic devotional paintings. The tondo measures approximately 71 centimeters in diameter and is housed in the Palazzo Pitti, in Florence, Italy.

Raphael's "Madonna della Sedia" exemplifies the High Renaissance style, showcasing the artist's mastery of color, composition, and emotional expression. The work is distinguished by its warm, harmonious color palette and the tender interaction between the figures. Mary is depicted with a gentle, maternal affection as she embraces the young Jesus, who is seated on her lap, while a youthful John the Baptist looks on with reverence. The figures are arranged in a pyramidal composition, a characteristic of Raphael's mature work, which adds to the stability and harmony of the scene.

The painting's title, "Madonna della Sedia," translates to "Madonna of the Chair," referencing the Virgin Mary's seated position and the domestic setting of the scene. This portrayal of the Holy Family in a more accessible, humanized manner had a significant impact on religious art and was influential in the development of Marian iconography.

Raphael's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and shadow, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and imbues the painting with a sense of volume and depth. The intimate scale and round format of the painting, along with its depiction of sacred figures in a familiar, everyday context, were designed to engage the viewer in personal devotion and reflection.

"La Madonna della Sedia" remains one of Raphael's most beloved and reproduced works, capturing the essence of the High Renaissance's ideals of beauty, harmony, and grace. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey a sense of divine presence within the realm of the ordinary, making it a masterpiece of devotional art.
